How do you approach the shore? As a child I approached two different ways. If in the presence of others, cousins, summer friends, aunts and uncles, parents or grandparents, I rushed in. Running full-steam all knees and elbows and a splash was soon to follow. When alone, I was a whisper, trying to not move the tiny grains of sand. Walking lighter than a feather. Attempting to leave no trace of myself, not even a shadow. I was magic and no one knew but the shore.

This post makes me think about how I need to get to the shore all by myself and be that magic you speak of. I always have people with me. I need to go there by myself.
Maybe you can trade “sitting” with someone. Have them watch your children while you viist the shore and then you return the favor. I know it is hard though–who to trust the kids with, but you’ve been making this trip for a couple or more summers, correct? Have you developed some relationships where you could do this?
